EEPW You really think you need a murder to deflect from Epstein? There's so much going on right now it wouldn't be hard to say he didn't want to talk about that Democrat hoax again, he's trying to solve the crisis in Ukraine/Palestine/Clean up Chicago, D.C., anywhere there's a democrat base, hit China with tariffs, stop the Democrats from shutting down the government...
I don't think it's much of a surprise so many of these type of fugitives, wanted for murder, known to be armed, end up shot rather than apprehended.
